Anne Bullitt
Anne’s father was William Christian Bullitt, the
American millionaire diplomat, journalist and
novelist and her mother, who died when she was
eight, was Louise Bryant, an American journalist
and radical who counted Eugene O’Neill and F.
Scott Fitzgerald as friends and who was part of the
Parisian ex-patriot set of the 1920s.
Louise Bryant witnessed first hand the Bolshevik
Revolution in Moscow with her first husband, John
Reed. Their tempestuous relationship was the basis for the 1981, Oscar-winning film “Reds”, with
Reed played by Warren Beatty and Bryant by Diane
Keating.
After Reed’s death in 1920, Bryant remained in
Europe as a leading correspondent for the Hearst
newspaper chain; she interviewed Kemal Ataturk,
founder of the Turkish Republic and Mussolini
gave his first interview with any correspondent to
her. Around this time she met Bill Bullitt and the
couple later married in Paris in 1923 and in 1924
Anne was born. By 1928 their marriage was floundering, partly due to Louise’s contraction of an incurable and painful skin condition, which led to
her reliance on alcohol, which in turn led to bouts of depression and paranoia. The couple divorced in 1930 and Bullitt retained sole custody
of Anne.
During the 1930s, `Little Anne Bullitt` as the press often dubbed her, was her father’s companion and aide during his travels and foreign assignments as Ambassador to the Soviet Union and France under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Anne treasured memories of these years and her
meetings with foreign dignitaries and heads of state. During one of her visits to Hyde Park when she was twelve, Roosevelt, expecting a delegation of local politicians, told her to hide behind the sofa in his study so she could overhear their conversation.
After the war, her father bought the 700 acre Palmerston estate in, County Kildare, Ireland and for the next forty years, this provided a backdrop
for her distinguished racing career, in which she became the first female breeder and trainer of thoroughbred horses in Ireland and Palmerston
Stud became the largest horse farm in Ireland.
But perhaps her greatest legacy was how she meticulously collected and catalogued her famous parents’ writings, which have subsequently been presented
to Yale University. Amongst these papers are unpublished poems by Eugene O’Neill, Louise Bryant’s notes for articles, her address books with numbers and
addresses for Lenin, Trotsky, Marcel Duchamp, Anita Loos, Brancusi and Helen Keller, to name but a few and manuscripts by Sigmund Freud – a friend of
Bill Bullitt’s and by whom he was psychoanalysed in the 1920s.
Anne Bullitt died in Dublin in August 2007 after a long illness. Although married four times, to Caspar Wistar Barton Townsend Jr, Nicholas Duke Biddle,
Roderic More O’Ferrall and Daniel B. Brewster, she is buried according to her wish, alongside her beloved father in Philadelphia. Once, when asked by
Freud if she loved her father, a young Anne replied, “My father is God”. Dr Freud said, “That child is very articulate. You know I have developed a theory
that male children’s first love is their mother and females’ their father. But this is the first time a child had confirmed my theory”.

During the Napoleonic Wars (1792-1815) about 100,000 French
prisoners were taken captive by the British. They were held in
moored hulks and in prisons. Under extremely difficult conditions
the captives performed the laborious task of producing bone and
ivory ship models. The calibre of their craftsmanship is apparent in
the intricate and beautiful examples that they produced. These erudite artisans had the ability to produce these models from scratch,
using any materials available to them, without the aid of any official
designs on which they could base their works. Hence they must have
had a good knowledge and understanding of shipping and fleets.
Curiously their diet proved to be a vital source of raw material, as
they had a staple diet of mutton or beef stew, which was served with
the bone. In addition, materials such as animal and human hair,
clothing, jewellery, timber etc were employed in the manufacturing
of these handmade masterpieces.

The buyer shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges in respect of any Lot which is not taken away
within seven (2) days after the date of the auction.
The purchased Lot shall be at the buyer’s risk in all respects from the earlier of the time of collection or the expiry of one (1) day
from the date of the auction. Neither the Auctioneer nor its employees, servants or agents shall thereafter be liable for any loss or
damage of any kind howsoever caused while a purchased Lot remains in its custody or control after such time.
Packaging and Handling of Purchased Lots
17. Purchased Lots may be packed and handled by the Auctioneer, its employees, servants or agents. Where this is done it is
undertaken solely as a courtesy to buyers and at the discretion of the Auctioneer. Under no circumstances shall the Auctioneer,
its employees, servants or agents be liable for damage of any kind and howsoever caused to glass or frames nor shall the
Auctioneer be liable for the errors or omissions of, or for any damage caused by, any packers or shippers which the Auctioneer
has recommended.
(f ) To retain that Lot or any other Lot purchased by the buyer whether at the same or any other auction and release
same to the buyer only after payment to the Auctioneer of the Total Amount Due.
(g) To apply any sums which the Auctioneer received in respect of Lots being sold by the buyer towards settlement of
the Total Amount Due.
To exercise a lien on any property of the buyer in the possession of the Auctioneer or whatever reason.
(h) Liability of Auctioneer and Seller
19. Prior to auction ample opportunity is given for the inspection of the Lots on sale and each buyer by making a bid acknowledges that he has, by exercising and relying on his own judgment, satisfied himself as to the physical condition, age and Catalogue
description of each Lot (including but not restricted to whether the Lot is damaged or has been repaired or restored). All Lots
are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description. None of the seller, the Auctioneer nor any of their employees,
servants or agents shall be responsible for any error of description or for the condition or authenticity of any Lot. No warranty
whatsoever is given by the seller or Auctioneer or by any of their employees, servants or agents in respect of any Lot and any
condition or warranty express or implied by statute or otherwise is hereby specifically excluded.
Forgeries
20. Any amount paid by a buyer in respect of a Lot which, if it is proved within three (3) years of the date of the auction at which
it was purchased, to have been a Forgery shall be refunded to the seller subject to the provisions hereof, provided that:
(a) The Lot has been returned by the buyer to the Auctioneer within three (3) years of the date of the
auction in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction together with evidence proving that it is a
Forgery, the number of the Lot and the date of the auction at which it was purchased;
(b) The Auctioneer is satisfied that the Lot is a Forgery and that the buyer has and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot free from any third party claims;
FURTHER PROVIDED THAT the buyer shall have no rights hereunder if:
(i) The description of the Lot in the Catalogue at the time of the auction was in accordance with the then generally
accepted opinion of scholars or experts or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such opinion;
(ii) The buyer’s sole entitlement under this condition is to a refund of the actual amount paid by him in respect of the Lot. Under no
circumstances shall the Auctioneer be liable for any damage, loss (including consequential, indirect or economic loss) or expense
suffered or incurred by the buyer by reason of the Lot being a Forgery.
The benefit of this condition shall be solely and exclusively for the buyer and shall not be assignable. The buyer shall for the
purpose of this condition be the person to whom the original invoice in respect of the sale of the Lot is made.
Photographs
21. The buyer authorises the Auctioneer at any time to make use of any photographs or illustrations of the Lot purchased by the
buyer for such purposes as the Auctioneer may require.
Non-Payment or Failure to Collect Purchased Lots
18. If a buyer fails to pay for and/or collect any purchased Lot by the dates herein specified for payment and collection the
Auctioneer shall, in its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have, be entitled to
exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies without further notice to the buyer:
(a) To issue court proceedings for damages for breach of contract;
(b) To rescind the sale of that Lot or any other Lots sold to the buyer whether at that or at any other auction;
(c) To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold whether by public auction or private sale. In the event that there is a
deficiency between the Total Amount Due by the buyer and the amount received by the Auctioneer on such resale
after deduction of any necessary expenses the difference shall be paid to the Auctioneer by the buyer. Any surplus
arising shall belong to the seller.
(d) To store (whether at the Auctioneer’s premises or elsewhere) and insure the
purchased Lot at the expense of the buyer.
(e) To charge interest on the Total Amount Due at the rate of 2% over and above the base rate from time to time of
Bank of Ireland or if there be no such rate, the nearest equivalent thereto as determined by the Auctioneer in its
absolute discretion from the date on which payment is due hereunder to the date of actual payment.
The only method of establishing at the time of the auction in question that the Lot was a Forgery would have been
by means of scientific processes which were not generally accepted for use until after the date of the auction or which
were unreasonably expensive or impractical.
CONDITIONS WHICH MAINLY CONCERN THE SELLER
Auctioneer’s Discretion
22. With regard to the sale of any Lot the Auctioneer shall have the following powers exercisable solely in the discretion of the
Auctioneer:
(i) To decide whether to offer any Lot for sale or not;
(ii) To decide whether a particular Lot is suitable for sale by the Auctioneer and, if so, to determine which auction, the
place and date of sale, the conditions of sale and the manner in which such sale should be conducted;
(iii) To determine the description of any Lot in a Catalogue.
(iv) To decide whether the views of any expert shall be obtained and to submit Lots for examination by any such

23. The seller warrants to the Auctioneer and to the buyer that he is the true owner of the Lot or is legally authorised to sell the
Lot on behalf of the true owner and can transfer good and marketable title to the Lot free from any third party claims. As regards
Lots not held by the Auctioneer on its premises or under its control the seller warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer and the
buyer that the Lot will be available and in a deliverable state on demand by the Auctioneer or buyer. The seller shall indemnify
the Auctioneer and the buyer or any of their respective employees, servants or agents against any loss or damage suffered by any of
them in consequence of any breach of the above warranties or undertakings by the seller.
Reserves
24. Subject to the Auctioneer’s discretion, the seller shall be entitled prior to the auction to place a reserve on any Lot. All reserves
must be agreed in advance by the Auctioneer and entered on the Sale Order Form or subsequently be confirmed in writing to the
Auctioneer prior to auction. This also applies to changes in reserves. A reserve may not be placed upon any Lots under IR£100 in
value. The reserve shall be the minimum Hammer Price at which the Lot may be sold by the Auctioneer. A reserve once in place
may only be changed with the consent of the Auctioneer. A commission shall be charged on the ‘knock-down’ bid for Lots which
fail to reach the reserve price. Such commission shall be 5% of the ‘knock-down’ bid. This commission and any VAT payable
thereon must be paid before removal of the Lot after the auction. The minimum commission hereunder shall be IR £25. The
Auctioneer may in its sole discretion sell a Lot at a Hammer Price below the reserve therefore but in such case the Proceeds of Sale
to which the seller shall be entitled shall be the same as they would have been had the sale been at the reverse.
Unless a reserve has been placed on a Lot in accordance with the provisions set out above such Lot shall be put up for sale without
reserve.
In the event that any reserve price is not reached at auction then for so long as the Lot remains with the Auctioneer and to the
extent that the Lot has not been re-entered in another auction pursuant to condition 31 the seller authorises the Auctioneer to sell
the Lot by private treaty at not less than the reserve price. The Auctioneer shall ensure that in such a case those conditions herein
which concern mainly the buyer shall, with any necessary modification, apply to such sale.
Commission
25. The seller shall pay the Auctioneer commission at the rate of 10% on the Hammer Price of all Lots sold on behalf of the seller
at Irish Art Sales and 12.5% on the Hammer Price of all Lots sold on behalf of the seller at Fine Art, Wine and Militaria Sales
together with V.A.T. thereon at the applicable rate. The seller authorises the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price paid by
the buyer the Auctioneer’s Commission under this condition; VAT payable at the applicable rates and any other amounts due by the
seller to the Auctioneer in whatever capacity howsoever arising. The seller agrees that the Auctioneer may also receive commission
from the buyer pursuant to condition 13.
Insurance
26. Unless otherwise instructed by the seller, all Lots (with the exception of motor vehicles) deposited with the Auctioneer or put
under its control for sale shall automatically be insured by the Auctioneer under the Auctioneer’s own fine arts policy for such sum
as the Auctioneer shall from time to time in its absolute discretion determine. The seller shall pay the Auctioneer a contribution
towards such insurance at the rate of 1% of the Hammer Price plus VAT. If the seller instructs the Auctioneer not to insure a Lot
then the Lot shall at all times remain at the risk of the seller who undertakes to indemnify the Auctioneer and hold the Auctioneer
harmless against any and all claims made or proceedings brought against the Auctioneer of whatever nature and howsoever and
wheresoever occurring for loss or damage to the Lot. The sum for which a Lot is covered for insurance under this condition shall
not constitute and shall not be relied upon by the seller as a representation, warranty or guarantee as to the value of the Lot or that
the Lot will, if sold by the Auctioneer, be sold for such amount. Such insurance shall subsist until such time as the Lot is paid for
and collected by the buyer or, in the case of Lots sold which are not paid for or collected by the buyer by the due date hereunder
for payment or collection such due date or, in the case of Lots which are not sold, on the expiry of seven (7) days from the date on
which the Auctioneer has notified the seller to collect the Lots.
Recision of Sale
27. If before the Auctioneer has paid the Proceeds of Sale to the seller the buyer proves to the satisfaction of the Auctioneer that
the Lot sold is a Forgery and the requirements of condition 20 are satisfied the Auctioneer shall rescind the sale and refund to the
buyer any amount paid to the Auctioneer by the buyer in respect of the Lot.
Payment of Proceeds of Sale
28. The Auctioneer shall remit the Proceeds of Sale to the seller not later than thirty (30) days after the date of the auction, provided
however that, if by that date, the Auctioneer has not received the Total Amount Due from the buyer then the Auctioneer shall remit
the Proceeds of Sale within seven (7) working days after the date on which the Total Amount Due is received from the buyer. If
credit terms have been agreed between the Auctioneer and the buyer the Auctioneer shall remit to the seller the Proceeds of Sale
not later than thirty (30) days after the date of the auction unless otherwise agreed by the seller.
If before the Total Amount Due is paid by the buyer the Auctioneer pays the seller an amount equal to the Proceeds of Sale then
title to the Lot shall pass to the Auctioneer.
If the buyer fails to pay the Auctioneer the Total Amount Due within fourteen (14) days after the date of the auction, the
Auctioneer shall endeavour to notify the seller and take the seller’s instructions on the course of action to be taken and, to the extent
that it is in the sole opinion of the Auctioneer feasible, shall endeavour to assist the seller to recover the Total Amount Due from the
buyer provided that nothing herein shall oblige the Auctioneer to issue proceedings against the buyer in the Auctioneer’s own name.
If circumstances do not permit the Auctioneer to take instructions from the seller or, if after notifying the seller, it does not receive
instructions within seven (7) days, the Auctioneer reserves the right, and is hereby authorised by the seller at the seller’s expense,
to agree special terms for payments of the Total Amount Due, to remove, store and insure the Lot sold, to settle claims made by
or against the buyer on such terms as the Auctioneer shall in its absolute discretion think fit, to take such steps as are necessary to
collect monies due by the buyer to the seller and, if necessary, to rescind the sale and refund money to the buyer.
Payment of Proceeds to Overseas Sellers
29. If the seller resides outside Ireland the Proceeds of Sale shall be paid to such seller in Irish Punts unless it was agreed with the
seller prior to the auction that the Proceeds of Sale would be paid in a currency (other than Irish Punts) specified by the seller in
which case the Proceeds of Sale shall be paid by the Auctioneer to the seller in such specified currency (provided that that currency
is legally available to the Auctioneer in the amount required) calculated at the rate of exchange quoted to the Auctioneer by its
bankers on the date of payment.
Charges for Withdrawn Lots
30. Once catalogued, Lots withdrawn from sale before proofing/publication of Catalogue will be subject to commission of 5% of
the Auctioneer’s latest estimate of the auction price of the Lot withdrawn together with VAT thereon and any expenses incurred
by the Auctioneer in relation to the Lot. If Lots are withdrawn after proofing or publication of Catalogue they will be subject to a
commission of 10% of the Auctioneer’s latest estimate of the auction price of the Lot withdrawn together with VAT thereon and
any expenses incurred by the Auctioneer in relation to the Lot. All commission hereunder must be paid for before Lots withdrawn
may be removed.
Unsold Lots
31. Where any Lot fails to sell at auction the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly and (in the absence of agreement between
the seller and the Auctioneer to the contrary) such Lot may, in the absolute discretion of the Auctioneer, be re-entered in the next
suitable auction unless instructions are received from the seller to the contrary, otherwise such Lots must be collected at the seller’s
expense within the period of thirty (30) days of such notification from the Auctioneer.
Upon the expiry of such period the Auctioneer shall have the right to sell such Lots by public auction or private sale and on such
terms as the Auctioneer in its sole discretion may think fit. The Auctioneer shall be entitled to deduct from the price received for
such Lots any sums owing to the Auctioneer in respect of such Lots including without limitation removal, storage and insurance
expenses, any commission and expenses due in respect of the prior auction and commission and expenses in respect of the
subsequent auction together with all reasonable expenses before remitting the balance to the seller. If the seller cannot be traced
the balance shall be placed in a bank account in the name of the Auctioneer for the seller. Any deficit arising shall be due from the
seller to the Auctioneer. Any Lots returned at the seller’s request shall be returned at the seller’s risk and expense and will not be
insured in transit unless the Auctioneer is so instructed by the seller.
Auctioneer’s Right to Photographs and Illustrations
32. The seller authorises the Auctioneer to photograph and illustrate any Lot placed with if for sale and further authorises the
Auctioneer to use such photographs and illustrations and any photographs and illustrations provided by the seller at any time in
its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the auction).
